This is
another gallery that I intend to rotate fairly frequently. I
have significant collections of photographs of abandoned cars,
buses , boats , and a few trains and planes. They don't sit
particularly well together . So this version concentrates
very much on cars and light goods vehicles and the others will come
along later. Most of these photographs were made in the
USA where you can sometimes find huge facilities full of disused
vehicles available for sale or for parts. Many of these are
in the south-west where the climate is dry and a thirty-year-old
car can sit outdoors without too much worry about the rate of
deterioration. They aren't always in pristine condition and
in general its the buyers that restore to show condition, not
the yards.

Its rare for me to photograph an entire vehicle, and I must stress
that my aim is not to document these vehicles but to use them as
raw material for a series of semi-abstract
photographs
